Nightly builds are not tested and they may be unstable. Eventually we'll start producing Integration builds, which are expected to be of a higher quality. There will also be Stable builds which have been tested well.

At this time, we run Nightly builds, Milestone builds, and Release builds. Nightly builds are not tested and they may be unstable. Milestone and Release builds are well tested.

We make several kinds of builds. In addition to the update site, our Release builds are available as an entire standalone IDE.
